Dear Sir or Madam,

(‘QDREIC’, Qatar) acquire within the meaning of Articles 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control over an existing joint venture that owns, develops, manages and offers for rent residential real estate at the Middlewood Locks site in Manchester (United Kingdom). The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

OMERS manages a diversified global portfolio of stocks and bonds as well as real estate, private equity and infrastructure investments;
-- for QDREIC: a real estate investment and development company, a wholly owned entity of the Qatar Investment Authority (‘QIA’) of the State of Qatar.

4.For the reasons set out in the Notice on a simplified procedure, the European Commission has decided not to oppose the notified operation and to declare it compatible with the internal market and with the EEA Agreement. This decision is adopted in application of Article 6(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.
